This game sucks....bad
Im gonna tell you straight up, this game sucks, the graphics are superb, but the gamplay fell flat on it's face, the most fun part is jumping up buildings. Other than that you get in a lame sword fight which is reminicent of any button mashing game, mainly the x button. Don't waste your money. Now I remember why I stopped playing videogames, you spend all your money and the return sucks. Now you're out 60 dollars and your stuck with this sucky game that you can trade-in for 20 dollars.


Great Game! Great Purchase
from the moment a bought it i i`ve been playing it and its awesome!! i just love it!


FUN!!!...at first...
The game is INCREDIBLY FUN!!!...at first. But then it starts to get repetitious, climb the towers, get the intel, kill the target, climb the towers, get the intel, kill the targets, over and over, and the cities are all pretty much the same. They have different people and different looks to them, but they're pretty much the same.

With that being said, they did an AMAZING job of teaching VERY complex button combinations in a VERY short amount of time. I was assassinating people and jumping from roof-top to roof-top in NO time.

Still, I stopped playing about half way through because I was tired of endlessly climbing towers.

Story line: 10/10

Graphics: 10/10

Sound: 9/10

Gameplay: 6/10

Replayability: ? That depends on you. If you just play it for an hour a day, conquering one city at a time then the tower thing probably won't get to you. But if like me, you like to sit and beat a game in a few days, then yes the towers will likely begin to grate on you.



As a disclaimer, let me add that I don't particularly like going BACK in time. I'm a Futurist (look it up on Wiki).

Still, the story-line alone makes this a worthwhile game!

I'd say Buy It and Try it for yourself. I (and that 1up review guy) are pretty picky about games.


Awesome game, but does get repetitive.
Excellent game, great story line, large levels, great visuals. The only con is that it gets kind of repetitive after a while.


Why read a long review?
The game is worth the rent. Beautiful visuals, decent storyline, fun combat, very repetitive. Great idea to run up walls and reach very high points but not worth the continuing side quests.

"Thanks for playing. Game Over"
